Hi, I’m Sai.
Python Backend & AI Engineer

I design backend systems that hold up in production, and build the pipelines that turn AI models into software people can rely on.

At Verisk, I work on enterprise backend services and agentic workflows, mostly with FastAPI and AWS. A lot of my time goes into wiring up LLM and MCP tools so they don’t fall apart once real users hit them.
